Really delicious. It made the whole house fill up with a great fragrance as well.

I had to improvise a lot w/ this recipe. I used salsa in place of tomato & gn pepper. Red wine instead of white, dried herbs in place of fresh...yet both my 12 yr old & hubby raved about it. My hubby could eat anything but the fact that my 12 yr old loved it says a lot!!

I followed the directions exactly as stated. It was wonderful and very easy to make. This was served with Greek salad, Spanakopita and rice.

My husband surprised me with a special meal. The most delicious fish I've ever eaten.

I am sorry but I don't think that I will make this dish again--the fish was a little dry and bland for me but that's b/c I like things kinda garlicky, flavorful. Sorry!
